Housing Connect Front Door Snapshot

The Housing Connect Front Door is the entry point for people to access housing support, from emergency accommodation to a long-term home. Although the Front Door service does not provide housing, it can assist clients to apply for social housing or maintain a private rental tenancy.

Anglicare Tasmania is funded by government to deliver the Housing Connect Front Door service statewide from July 2024.

Quarterly Report

Every quarter, Anglicare Tasmania publishes a snapshot of data from the last three months of operation, with the aim of:

examining the needs of clients who engaged with the Front Door
describing the outcomes achieved
investigating the reasons for any gaps between identified needs and outcomes achieved.

Based on this information, the Snapshot report makes policy recommendations to improve the response to Tasmanians seeking housing support.

The first report published in October 2024, was titled ‘More Houses Needed’ and included some valuable information about the Housing Connect Front Door Service and Housing Connect 2.0.

Most recent Housing Connect Front Door Snapshot

Too many Tasmanians can’t afford a place at all.

December 2025

Compared to the same time last year, there was:

a 41% increase in the number of Tasmanians seeking housing support
a 64% increase in the number of people sleeping rough; and a
67% increase in the number of employed people seeking assistance.

The snapshot shows that people on the lowest incomes are experiencing the most severe impacts of the housing crisis.

Providing them with secure housing will deliver significant budget savings in the health and justice systems and benefit all Tasmanians.

Investment in public housing and supports is critical.
